Runners Run

My 43 today involved this innocent looking band

Innocent – I think not!

I put it around my ankles

Ready to work

So far, no big deal.  Then…I laid on my right side and did 43 leg lifts.  The bands became a deadly weapon at this point!!!  I held each lift at the top for a few seconds and then only lowered my leg to the point just before the tension would be released.  My outer hip/thigh was dying!!!

Hold at the top!!!
Keep the tension!!

Of course, I had to switch to my left side and do a second 43 so that I could feel the pain equally!!

After  completing the torture 43, I decided to run.  I don’t see the doctor for almost 3 more weeks about my hip and that is too long to wait!  We all know – RUNNERS RUN!!!

I did 9 miles in 53:39 and then did another 2.3 at an easier pace with a steep incline.  Running makes me happy even when it hurts!

Tonight is hair night – WooHoo!!!

Happy Tuesday!
